Younger Women Champion nursing group

Open to any Nursing Network member who is a breast care nurse, clinical nurse specialist or breast care practitioner, this group has been set up to ensure the needs of younger women with both primary and secondary breast cancer are met.

We do this by:

bringing together nurses working with younger women with breast cancer to learn, share best practice and ensure the needs of younger women with both primary and secondary breast cancer are addressed

being the voice of nurses working with younger women affected by breast cancer

Together we can:

raise awareness of the support available to younger women with breast cancer

develop a national pathway for referring younger women with breast cancer to fertility clinics, and distribute this tool among breast healthcare professionals

share information and support around treating younger women with breast cancer

The Younger Women Champion nursing group meets twice a year, and travel costs to the meetings are reimbursed. Between meetings there are regular email communications and over the coming months we're launching a private space on our Forum for members to share information and engage with other peers.
